I started out amused and entertained with the housing of the mice - then thankful you didn't put the child on the toilet. When you got to the tour of the doll house with the recently found furniture - it became emotional. The man who built it for his children and perhaps grandchildren are all shining down on you. You are doing them proud. Wondering - any interest in researching who lived in the house where the doll house came from? I am loving this journey - thank you, Scott.

It's the perfect thing for a person who loves nostalgia: you don't have to have the whole house dedicated to it; you now have a whole new category of treasures to look for; and you can rearrange things to your heart's content. I loved the sturdy little coffee mug waiting on the table. And was that a spittoon?! I would, however, throw one of those lovely area rugs over that torn bit of carpet upstairs. You wouldn't want someone to trip! Can't wait for more!

Reminds me of the doll house my Grandfather built for my much older cousin Alice. It was stored in the rafters of my other cousin's garage. When I was a kid, I'd look at it and ask if I could have it, I was always told, no, it belongs to Alice. I went out to look at it one day and it was gone. My Aunt told me it had a wasp nest, so they threw it away! Broke my heart, I could have easily cleaned out a nest!

That's such a beautiful old house. I somehow missed seeing this. It's got great bones. My hubby's grandpa handmade a dollhouse for his mom, for a Christmas gift, when she was little. It is one story and is accessed by removing the folding roof. He electrified it with tiny lights too. (Even has glass windows that go up and down, hinged doors, and a working doorbell). His five sisters played with it, at their house, growing up. Then it went back to his grandpa's guest room for the grandkids. When the estate was settled, no one wanted it because it was pretty hammered. We took it and stored it for over 15 years until our youngest daughter wanted to play with it. So we cleaned it up and made a few repairs. She became obsessed with it and played almost exclusively with it, using her littlest Pet Shop animals. She loved it so much, that she has it stored for her kids someday. A few years back, her grandmother tried to take it back, to give to another cousin to play with. It ruffled a few feathers because we had to say no to grandma, my hubby's sister, and young niece. We knew that it wouldn't come back to us because grandma had "promised" it to the neice and that she could keep it. (Without checking with us first). Dollhouses definitely have personalities and the people that love them, can have strong attachments to them. Thanks for the delightul tour. So many creative touches were put into your dollhouse. Truĺy amazing!

This is so amazing! My papa was a talented woodworker. Most of the furniture in my house was built by him, beds, dressers, hope chest, toy box, cradle, vanity table, cabinets, baby doll furniture. I will never have all new furniture because I could never part with anything he made for me haha! When I was a child he built a dollhouse for me, similar to the size of yours. It's nearly 40 years old now. My first daughter who is now grown played with it for many years. Now I have a 4 year old (surprise baby :) ) who is begging for an LOL house or barbie house, plastic junk. She doesn't yet see the magic of my old dollhouse handmade with sturdy wood and love because it is very old and outdated and well loved from years and years of play. So now I am on a journey trying to figure out how to remodel it to make it more appealing to her. I need to take out and replace all of the wallpaper, carpet, all of the molding, also need to redo all of the windows, very overwhelming to someone with no experience with this stuff. Hoping my papa passed on some of his skills to me. So glad I found your channel. Hopefully I can pick up some tips and tricks while watching your restoration. I would love to know the history of this house, I am pretty certain it was made with love for someone very special!

That house is stunning and well built. They definitely don't make them like that anymore! I love dollhouses from back in the day. I am literally living in a house that looks like a doll house. It was built in 1916 which for the southwestern united states is old. Who ever the owners where, took such amazing care of my house. All the wood floors are all original except the kitchen. I can't believe the owners let this house go. I love it, it all had a fire place and wood stoves in every room! It's a large house a little big for my small family but I love this house.

My husband and I always buy the photo albums nobody cares to keep. We have a large collection we always like to look through from time to time.

It's quite sophisticated for a dolls house of that age - the wiring and the care that has gone into the details. Never seen anything like it from that era - most of the antique dolls houses I have seen have been Tri-angs, or Lundby's from the 60's or ones that are like Tri-angs, but homemade and done in that style. The craftsman who created it was very talented.
